UI Page HTML Tag Issue?

[warren_chan]

Hi all,

I'm trying to write a simple query in the HTML section of my UI Page:

<g:evaluate>

                      var today = new GlideDateTime();

                      var kb = new GlideRecord('kb_knowledge');

                      kb.addQuery('valid_to','>=',today);

                      kb.addQuery('published','<=',today); // Error here?

                      kb.query();

</g:evaluate>

However, the system won't let me save this due to the following error:

Error at line (26) The content of elements must consist of well-formed character data or markup.

I suppose that is because of the '<' character being interpreted as an HTML tag. I've tried using the escape character for HTML, but still no luck.

Any thoughts?

I've updated your code to escape your > and < for the UI Page. Also, I've added parameters to your g:evaluate tag to allow your query to be used by other parts of the document as 'jvar_kbarticles'. the last line of an evaluate becomes the value of the variable defined by it. (in this case, 'jvar_kbarticles' will contain the object 'kb' and can now be used by other elements of your document.)

<g:evaluate jelly="true" object="true" var="jvar_kbarticles">

      var today = new GlideDateTime();

      var kb = new GlideRecord('kb_knowledge');

      kb.addQuery('valid_to','&gt;=',today);

      kb.addQuery('published','&lt;=',today);

      kb.query();

      kb;

</g:evaluate>

Hope this helps!

Thanks Jerimy. I could've sworn I did the exact same thing, but I must have missed the other tags in the element header.
